Thanks. I'm not complaining. Just wanting it clarified. I also apologize for leaving it in the other thread after I figured out how to post the video (each site is slightly different). I had not read your instructions that it goes in a different thread and signed out as soon as I got it to "work." Thanks for moving it for me.

I think Onelight did before I got the chance…he is quick.

I do like the bagpipes and song, and also the history of Scotland, but that is not what the song is about and the combination of the two doesn't sit right with me.  That's just my personal opinion.

I understand you, OneLight, and your opinion, and thank you, for sure,  giving us this to consider.
And also understand Arial's emotions drawn forth through man's struggle to be free of bondage, hearing this song.
Hearing the tune "Amazing Grace," how God freely gave His life, to man, to set man free, is heart moving.
Considering the man who wrote it, who at one time was involved in selling humans for a living, till God touched his heart.

"I hope it will always be a subject of humiliating reflection to me, that I was once an active instrument in a business at which my heart now shudders."    John Newton, "Thoughts upon the African Slave Trade," 1788

Like Christian soldiers God's army goes to battle against the enemy when sharing the gospel, some being killed/martyred,  and a countries soldiers in their army may suffer death giving their life for others to be 'set free.'
Amazing Grace is a song that draws remembrance to our God's words;

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
As God, our creator, suffering as a man, has done for us, while yet sinners.
Amazing.
